KEEP IT TOGETHER

A series of 30 drawings, cut and reassembled 

45 x 35 x 0,1cm each

Reflecting on the complex state of motherhood- marked by conflicting societal expectations, shifting gender roles, and the pursuit of perfection amidst daily chaos- it becomes evident that mothers today face countless challenges. In an era of rapid social change and technological advancement, they navigate a labyrinth of competing demands, from career aspirations to domestic responsibilities, all while striving to maintain an idealized image of maternal competence and unconditional love. Yet beneath this curated perfection lies a profound vulnerability and uncertainty, as mothers confront the relentless pressure to meet evolving standards of parenthood.

In the series "Keep It Together," the deliberately misaligned cut-up drawings serve as a reflection of the struggle for balance faced by caregivers. These compositions symbolize the complexity of navigating responsibilities and priorities, as mothers endeavor to create a cohesive picture amidst inherent chaos.
